Before I Die Lyrics by Papa Roach

The Connection

2012

[Verse 1]
I'm out here on my own
Giving it a go alone
Begging on my knees
Is there a god to save me?
I've been a wretched soul
From my heart down to my toes
I was lost in my disease
And you were right there screaming

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't change when it’s too late

[Chorus]
Maybe I said the right things wrong
And my one last shot is too far gone
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die
Maybe I pushed you way too far
To pull you back from where you are
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die

[Verse 2]
From the valley of the dead
I'm hearing every word you said
I'm trying to apologize, but I can't feel my feelings
Are you giving us some room to grow?
Or digging us a deeper hole
And killing any shred of hope for us to believe in?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't change when it’s too late

[Chorus]
Maybe I said the right things wrong
And my one last shot is too far gone
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die
Maybe I pushed you way too far
To pull you back from where you are
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die

[Bridge]
I'm out here on my own
Sick of being here alone
I know where I belong, but I can't
Find my way home

Find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way

[Chorus]
Maybe I said the right things wrong
And my one last shot is too far gone
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die
Maybe I pushed you way too far
To pull you back from where you are
But if I can, I swear that I
Will live for you before I die

[Outro]
Will live for you before I die
I will live for you before I die
